The meeting came to order at 7:30 in the office conference room. Twenty-three representatives an- swered the roll call, although not 100% attendance, this was considered very good.

However, before the November business meeting takes place, the executive committee hopes to get representatives from every depart- ment. A group picture of the representatives was taken by Dick Bills, company and "Argus Eye" photographer. This was followed by a report by Vernon Heck on the Club's part in publishing the newspaper.

To levigate this, club representatives will act as news collectors for their departments. Name Staff An editorial staff, comprised of Harold Kroll, Glenn Engall and Jean Crandell was appointed. The paper is to be dis- tributed to all company employees with- out charge.

The first being an entertain- ment committee, whose duty it would be to arrange dances, parties and other forms of entertainments. This committee is comprised of Thelma Faber, Jean Crandell, Vilnie Westerman, E. Smith, Herman Bauer, Naomi Knight and Ver- non Heck. The second committee's duties are to handle all problems arising from club- sponsored athletic activities. This com- mittee is comprised of Laura Egler, Jesse Cope and Paul Haines. Will Award Cup It was then decided that all champion- ship teams in their respective sports be awarded cups. The club will retain and display these in some designated place. The club decided to expand the spon- sorship in sport activities, and $420.00 was voted for thepurchase of the men's and women's bowling team shirts. In order that the club be conducted as an organized group, it was voted to have membership cards printed and passed • out to each member by the department representatives. A fee of 25 cents shall be collected for each card and will be used to pay the cost of the printing and handling. This card shall entitle the holder to all the advantages and privi- leges of the club. Neil Podewils, Dept. 24, was appointed to design and order the cards. The club, deciding to do its part in the war effort, decided to buy $500 worth of war bonds, these bonds to be held by the club and to be used as the future warrants. The meeting adjourned at 10 o'clock. The "Argus Recreation Club" is a club made up of employees of the Interna- tional Industries, Inc., all of which are free to join.

Melvin Bahnmiller sends his first German plane to earth. It happened on September 7, Labor Day, when, return- ing from a successful bombing mission on Rotterdam in Holland. Sgt. Bahn- j miller was flying with a squadron of B-17's, Boeing Flying Fortresses, as a waist gunner, when they were attacked by a group of about 50 yellow nosed j Focke-Woulfe fighter planes. It was in this scrap that our friend shot down his enemy, and ours, too. Goering's squa- dron of F. W. fighters are one of the fastest and deadly planes of that type. Besides numerous machine guns, it is equipped with a 20 millimeter cannon that can literally blast an aeroplane out of the sky. In civilian life, the Sgt. was a very good worker and very well liked by his friends. Needless to say, he is a hero to them all now. Previous to enlisting in the Army Air Force, he was employed at Argus in the lens department. Also Captain of one of our bowling teams. Last but not least, he enjoyed hunting and was an excellent shot. He has proven that. After entering the Army, Sgt. Bahn- miller had been stationed at Jefferson Barracks, Mo.; MacDill Field, Fla.; To Keep 'Em Rolling, Seventeen Argus Girls Give Up Rest Periods Brodenton Field, Sarasita, Fla., Texas, New Mexico, California and Maine. His squadron, the 341st, is stationed some- where in England. From the Ann Arbor paper: "Finally Got Mad" Sgt. Melvin Bahnmiller, 22-year-olc bombardier and gunner, who is credited with being the first Ann Arbor airman to shoot down a German plane, had a bad few minutes as Nazi fighters at- tarVpd hvq hnrnhpr during ^ vaid hv Vis- ing Fortresses over Amsterdam last month. According to belated news accounts received here, Sgt. Bahnmiller's hand froze when he had to change his oxygen mask—the mercury is almost out of sight up where the Fortresses fly—and he was unable to operate his gun in the waist of the ship as he saw the enemy Focke- Wolfes zoom up. "I just sat there and watched them come in, thinking, 'Now we're going to get it'," he said afterward. "Finally, I got so mad I just took the frozen hand and gave the gun a bang and it started working." The local youth didn't say so, but ap- parently it worked pretty well. One of the biggest bugs in Plant No. 2's battle of production—single lens pol- ishing—has been remedied to some ex- tent through the cooperation of 17 girls who have volunteered to sacrifice their usual two daily rest periods in order :hat their machines might be kept roll- ing the full 54 hours a week. Since the rest periods were for 15 min- utes each, or half an hour daily, it might seem that production on the single pol- ishers should rise only about 5 per cent, but with no interruptions morning or afternoon, it is estimated that those lenses with the sharpest curves will be turned out at a much faster rate from now on. The girls who are now working with- out rest periods are: Marie Trenary, Gwendolyn Nehmer, Elizabeth Snell, Mary Mercier, Jean Lashy, Catherine Mirisse, Dolores Wiederhoft, Ruth Romelhardt, Myrtle Woodworth, Dor- othy Solomon, Lillian Hurt, Eilene Wol- ford, Alvina Brasson, Muriel Delbridge, Ann Andrews, Jane Moore and Olive Nordman. Christmas Packages to All Service Men Must Be Mailed Early Officers of the Army Postal Service are urging that Christmas packages, cards and letters for men overseas be mailed between October 1 and Novem- ber 1, pointing out that anything mailed after the latter date will very likely not reach the soldier in time for Christmas. "The earlier the better," is the word. With cargo space at a premium, pack- ages should be kept to a minimum in size and weight. No package over 11 pounds, 18 inches long or 42 inches in length and girth combined may be mailed, and only one package a week per person will be accepted for mailing. Packages should be endorsed "Christ- mas Parcel." Both Warand Navy Departments re- quest that no food or clothing be sent. Because of the distances involved, par- cels must be substantially packaged and wrapped. Perishable and fragile articles should be well protected. Among pro- hibited items are intoxicants, matches and lighter fluids, poisons and composi- tions which may damage the mails- Each parcel is subject to censorship. Classified ad in the Ogden (Utah) Standard-Examiner: "Owner of 1940 Ford would like to correspond with widow who owns two tires. Object matrimony. Send picture of tires."

Turning to his crystal ball, ouija board and phrenological charts for a look-see into the future, he went into a ten- minute trance with coffee—no sugar, please!

Heck and Howse Presenting Bond to Graham
Let's Act on TheseStimulating Words
From Homer HiltonTo: Guy C. Core.Dear Guy:
Having just learned you are now edit-ing the first issue of a monthly magazineto be published by the Argus RecreationClub, to be called "Argus Eyes for Vic-tory," I want to send you my sinceregood wishes for your success in makingthis a very interesting issue, to be fol*lowed by others, with increasing per-sonal appeal to all of our employees.
HOMER HILTON
During my 25 years of factory work,I have run across quite a number ofsimilar publications, some of which weremost effective in creating a friendlierfeeling among the employees of the com-pany. In this day and age of rush andhurry, all of us have less time for per-sonal contacts than ever before, so I amimpressed with the possibility of ArgusEyes being so filled with personal itemsthat all of us may be kept in touch withthe social activities of our co-workers.
Inasmuch as our people are dividedinto two buildings, and two shifts, itisn't possible for us to have personalcontact with some who are not in ourown department. Argus Eyes can givethat contact, by letting us know whatthe others are doing. More particularly,through Argus Eyes we can all be keptinformed of the activities of our friendswho have gone into uniform. By allmeans, send a copy of every issue to allof these fellows, and urge them to tellus what they can about what they aredoing.
The Argus Recreation Club has an op-portunity of doing great things for allof us, by immediately inaugurating andsustaining various kinds and sorts ofsocial activities of interest to all of ouremployees, in addition to the BowlingLeague now formed. Why not have atheatrical group to put on plays, and amen's -4glee club, and a bicycle club forgroup vrides. Also, why not petition theCompany for sufficient space for a suit-able club room, large enough so ourgirls, at least, may eat their lunch inpeace and comfort instead of in the cor-ridor where the tables are now located.Save the tables for the men, but let thegirls have a pleasanter amosphere inwhich to spend their lunch time. I'll do-nate a radio for the club room if such agift is acceptable.
More power to you in starting ArgusEyes. I hope every employee finds in-terest in reading every issue.
Sincerely,HOMER HILTON.
